MEET THE ARTIST BEHIND THE LENSES..

HI, I’M DENISE.

AND I’M HERE TO MAKE YOUR SPECIAL DAY LAST FOREVER

Exploring through my parents attic as little girl, I stumbled across my father’s old film camera. That was the start of my photography journey.

I experimented and practiced until I was hired on as an apprentice by one of Germany’s most renowned advertising studios, where I worked for three years, with many of my photos being showcased in international magazines and publications.  

In 2015, I got married to my amazing husband and we moved to the United States, where I started working as a wedding and portrait photographer. I’m so thankful my family is able to regularly travel back and forth to Europe for exclusive photo shoots and exhibitions of my work.

Now, as a momma of two little whirlwinds, I know firsthand how quickly time flies and how important it is to preserve all these precious moments.

I love the process of finding the perfect light, location and moment, but my favorite thing about what I do is watching my clients’ reactions as they see their photos for the first time. Seeing their beauty as I see it through my camera. What a gift.

WARMEST WORDS FROM..

  • "Denise helped us create the engagement session of our dreams (fall outdoorsy camping/s’mores/firepits/blankets). Her photos and delivery of the final product were beautiful. She was a pleasure to work with and so kind while trying to help us get comfortable in front of a camera. She took our late fall session and captured the location and our emotions so well. I will cherish these photos forever and hope to work with her again for future sessions!"

    -Courtney & Misael

  • "Denise is so talented and thoughtful with her photography. She offers natural posing prompts and is so patient with kids and adults. We love our family photos! Kansas City’s best!!"

    -Callie & Spencer

  • "Denise is so sweet and funny! She was amazing to work with. Everything I wanted in photos she definitely got! She really listened to what we thought was important and still did her thing. Her work is *chef's kiss*"
